Skinner increased her All-America portfolio to 13 with the latest awards. She was a four-time NCAA All-American and four-time NACGC regular season All-American as a freshman last year. Merrell-Giles now has six career All-America awards. This is Merrell-Giles' first time as a regular season All-American. She was a three-time NCAA All-American last year.
